Which liquid has the highest surface tension?

Answer»

Water

Because of the relatively HIGH ATTRACTION of water molecules for each other through a web of hydrogen bonds, water has a higher surface TENSION (72.8 milli newtons per meter at 20 °C) COMPARED to that of most other liquids. Surface tension is an important factor in the phenomenon of CAPILLARITY.
